BARCLAY'S PATENT ANTIBILI OUS PILLS. • TT was a remark of the celebrated Dr. Buchan, Author of the Domestic Medicine, that complaints of the _Stomach Ann Bowel.; are theincvailing Malady of this Country, winch lay. the foundation of the inure formidable and fatal Diseases;. that the person who could discover for the relief and cure a safe and infallible remedy would per form a most important service to society. 'That discovery has now been made in the Patent Antibilious Pills of the Rev. William Bareray, the extensive sale of which, and the high -estimation i which they are deservedly held, has considerably lessoicd the numtier of these complaints; and bids fair, in a short time, to be. the means of entirely eradi cating them. These Pills have a quick and.safe o p erat i on, they act powerfully and specifically on the file, and thus remove the titin,:ejoirs tirsoroFrs, corloeclied ..with it, Sick 1-lead-Aches, Flatulence, Liver Complaints, jaundice, Ner ' vous Disorders front Indigestion,' &C.

I joined this army on the 27th July, at artzana,.• near Astore,;a: Our operations have hitherto been vt little military importance : however, the plot beeins et; thicken, and I tru4 this enthusiastic and formi dable Arthy or Patrioti. will, ere. long, net a di-ehe guished part in the theatre of this Most just and glorious war, than which nothing can be aueee no ble-in its motive, or more interesting add imeoreinv in its result. • It is a contest for the yree rvatiott of religien, liberty, and every thing ihat is hl.l sai'r and most d6ar to man. We have noe: , got dote td the erieMy, and the grand and lofty • enterprize hai • already commenced. I had the satisfaction, on our arrival et Triag; Qlt the Igth inst. of seeing eleved of those light-tioted and light-fingered - gentry that follmy 45E.4, take a somerset eptietumble front the hiiisclose to n e e mere : three quarters of a hill td the west OfTriaS, At, day-break on. the 20th a strong picket of th 6.! enemy appeared on the heights opposite to - Tria4, and comnienced a randdm tire. The regiment.of Navarre tiocin prevailed upon the enemy towith.. draw their visit. FOur of the nuntlrr, however; - appeared disinclined to accompany their companions in their flight ; and on examination they were • lcinnd to have good around 4 for prolongir e g their visit—they were dead I-omitted to mention to - you, that in the slight attitir oil the evening-df the. • lgrh, at the village of Itamere, there were tlO of . the enemy', •and only (i of the regiment of I‘..la varre opposed to them. Of the enemy eleven were killed, one stejeant taken prisoner ; and on the pint _ bf the Spaniards only - one wan was WOLltlat'l belif in the thigh. This little prelude. -has pot the Spa niards on their'tnettle ; nothing - cuull be More gra tifying than to see the ardour and enthusiastic eager ness of the ParriOts to come to' close quarters with the enemy. Without pretending to any Allireen ma! skill in divination, I predia," that Whenever [he Gallegqs shall come within reach of the ethenv, the most aaeourable results may he expected. I know the Spanish character au fond, and am persuaded, that the more they are bled, the better and more desperately they will tight. Their ehe - rgies incfease io a ten-tclri ratio to the eesistance they (11 , .'e1. TO view the Galician, tither as a peasant to his five mountains, or as a soldier in quiet quarters, you would consider him as a heavy,• inactive, honest rustic; but behold him when the ". blast of war -blows in his ears," when he expeAs to weet,the enemy of his Country-and of his Religiose, and yon will find him all life, all fire, all enthu•iastic ener gy ; naive . aShtbelight-footed Frenchman, and strong and undaunted as the roused lion. If we loOk back to the. history of remote periods, we shall read what the Spaniards were in the days of the Romans, and be enabled to form an idea of the • alatlonalehara6ter e of the present race. The enemy, whO are fond 'of playing at long -bullets, avoid a general ae.non. I believe they are retreating, and about to concentrate themselves somewhere about St. Estevan. This.is mere vonjec pyre, We are now about to more than feel for them. enclose you, a list of the posts occupi e d- on one side, by the 's.nemy and by us. Their force we know . not -cxatly, but it is not very considerable. . This army amounts to about 35,000, and new. IQv:es are forming in Galicia. • The plan of rescuing the .10,500 Spaniards in the Nerth, was a first-rateenancenvee, and Atte executiOti equal to the plan.. , Our Ministers have immor4ed e „ ' ized themselves, and gained the' greatest creait for . our country, by their late 'measures.
